I love the "private playground for shore owners" comments.......Maybe the bassboaters want to help out with our 15K plus tax bills

Re-read your first post SAMIAN. What does this have to do with public access at Winnisquam? Every post in the thread was relevant to the topic except yours. In fact, the word bass wasn't even mentioned until you came along. That's why I went off on you(not to mention your ignorant generalizations about bass fisherman/bass boats). Stick to the topic or start a new thread. If you want to vent your anger towards bass fisherman, just go over to the General Discussion forum. Fat Jack just started a thread and I'm sure you'll have a lot of useful information to contribute which is sure to enhance the lives of fourm members everywhere.
JohnNH does present his facts well. However, he shouldn't have to defend bass fisherman in this thread. It was started to gain support for a public access on Winnisquam which will benefit EVERYONE, not to discuss bass fisherman.
Once again, thank you for your efforts John. Keep fighting the good fight, my friend!!!
